An epic historical adventure set in an alternate 8th century China, from the author of the 2008 World Fantasy winner, Ysabel. Under Heaven is a novel of heroes, assassins, concubines & emperors set against a majestic & unforgiving landscape. Honour is beyond measure But its price may be an empire? For two years Shen Tai has mourned his celebrated father & lived like a hermit beyond the borders of the Kitan Empire.

Tai has laboured alone, laying to rest the mingled dead of both empires, until a letter arrives.

Now, Tai must try to return alive from solitude to a glittering, dangerous court. For to give a man even one of the famed Sardians is to honour him greatly; to give him so many is a reward which would overwhelm an emperor, & could be Tai's death warrant. ...
